Fresh fruits and vegetables are one of my favorite parts of summer. You probably noticed the appearance of blueberries in pretty much all of my Instagram food photos. That’s because I went blueberry picking and picked a total of 12 quarts over two trips at the pick-your-own farm. I did freeze some but you can’t beat blueberries fresh and so I lived off of them for a few weeks.
Heaven.
And then sadness when I tossed the last blueberry in my mouth, knowing it was going to be another full year before the refrigerator would be stocked with them.
Contrary to blueberries, I haven’t always been a lover of zucchini. In fact, I used to hate it growing up. However, tastes change and it’s become a favorite in our house. Usually grilled or sautéed with loads of olive oil. I made these awesome pancakes a few days ago when we needed a breakfast that was healthy and filling. We are not gluten-free people but we do try to avoid it as much as possible when we’re home.
So these pancakes happened. Unlike regular pancakes, these are full of vegetables and what I like to call healthy. And they only require two kinds of gluten free flours.
Simple. Tasty. Filling.
GLUTEN FREE ZUCCHINI POTATO PANCAKES
Yield: about 11 pancakes
INGREDIENTS
1/4 c Bob’s Red Mill Tapioca Flour
1/2 c Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
3/4 tsp salt
2 T flaxseed, ground
2 zucchini, grated
1 medium onion, grated
2 medium potatoes, grated
3 eggs, large
3-4 T olive oil
DIRECTIONS
In a small bowl, combine flours, salt and flaxseed. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine grated vegetables and squeeze out as much water as possible using hands. Once most of the water is removed, add vegetables to flour mixture. Add in eggs and combine thoroughly. Let mixture sit for 5 minutes.
In a skillet, on medium-high heat, heat olive oil until hot. Using a 1/4 c batter for each pancake, place pancakes a few inches apart and press down on mixture lightly. Allow to cook for 1-2 minutes and flip once bottom is nicely browned. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes and remove from heat.
I know burgers are a “man’s food” but I have to admit that I could eat a burger every week and not get bored. And even though I love beef burgers, I’m not picky either – I’ll eat chicken, veggie (portobellos…mmmm), you name it. One of my favorite things to do is to play around…
I love spaghetti and meatballs but for some reason totally unknown to me, I rarely make it.

Remember my Bean Corn & Avocado Salad? Well, since I’m pretty much obsessed with the stuff, this recipe is right up my alley – beans, chicken, cheese, sour cream, avocado – also sounds a bit like Chipotle, right? Speaking of Chipotle, has anyone else experienced drastically different portion sizes from one location to the next? Because…

One of the easiest Middle Eastern recipes to make is rice and chicken. I’ve already mentioned a few times how Middle Eastern cooking is very plain – rarely any sauce, basic ingredients required. This recipe is no exception. The ingredients are very simple: chicken, rice, peas, nuts, yogurt and thin noodles, which can be optional…
